- We're approaching the ranch.
- I want to cover every inch

Of the place. I've spent
more than three decades

Working on projects

For nasa and the
department of defense

In the fields of aerospace
engineering, physics.

Below you'll see the gate.

Even some classified programs

To study the mysteries
of the universe.

I never thought I'd
find a place on earth,

Let alone in the utah dessert,

That just might hold
some of the answers.

It's like walking on
mars or something.

Over the past three years,
I've been part of a team

Investigating a
512-acre property

- Known as skinwalker ranch.
- That's a definite beam.

- From strange objects in the sky...
- What is that?

Do you guys see that?

Whoa! We got something!
We got something!

To unexplained structures
deep underground...

There is an unnatural structure

- Beneath this property.
- To incidents

That have made some
of us afraid for our safety...

- I'm leaving the ranch. I'm getting
a bad headache. Are you serious?

- Hey.
- Are you okay?

- No. - Tom just blacked out.

We've been baffled by some
extraordinary phenomena...

What in the world?

Many of which have
been reported in the area

For more than a century.

I'm dr. Travis
taylor, and tonight,

I'm looking back on the
most bizarre incidents

Our team has experienced,

And the most
shocking revelations

We've made so far
on skinwalker ranch.

Wow!

There is a ranch
in northern utah.

It is considered the epicenter

Of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:

Animal mutilations,

Bizarre ufo sightings

And unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the
federal government

Tried to find
answers and failed.

Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,

Researchers and
experts has taken over.

They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal...

The secret of skinwalker ranch.

Hi, travis.

-Hey, brandon. How you doing? Yeah.
-Brandon fugal.

In 2019, brandon fugal,

The owner of skinwalker ranch,

Invited me to meet with him

And his team in
salt lake city, utah,

To see if I would be
interested in joining

Their investigation
of the property.

Thank you for coming together.

This is the most unique
science project of its kind.

I was intrigued by
all the crazy rumors

About paranormal
and ufo activity there,

But I was also struck

That someone like
brandon would be involved

Given his background.

That sounds exciting

- And maybe even a little bit scary, right?
- Right.

I'm brandon fugal,
chairman and owner

Of the largest commercial
real estate enterprise

Here in utah.

I'm also an investor
and cofounder

Of other enterprises
involving technology,

But I am looking for the
nature of the universe

And asking some of
these core questions.

Are we alone?

I truly believe that
skinwalker ranch

Is a place where
some of these questions

May be answered

Or at least better understood.

Well, so, one question I have is

Why is it called
skinwalker ranch?

What is the-the
lore of it, right?

Well, it's a
phenomenon is what it is.

- It goes back hundreds of years.
- Native americans

Talk of shape-shifting
demonic entities

Called skinwalkers
that take on the form

Of a-a large
werewolf-like creature

And also a number
of other shapes.

Wow.

It turns out that in
the 19th century,

Members of the indigenous ute
and navajo nations in the region

Had a bitter feud,

And the navajo cursed the land,

Giving rise to the legend

Of evil, wolflike shape-shifters
known as skinwalkers.

But that was only the beginning

Of what people have
claimed to experience

On and near the ranch.

As early as 1911,

Newspaper reports

Profiled strange
noises in the basin,

And the homesteaders

Started seeing
unexplained phenomena.

And by 1979,

There were a lot
of ufo sightings

In the basin being documented.

And then the sherman family,

In 1992,

Acquired the property
and were witness

To some of the most
disturbing events on record.

Cattle mutilations.

We're talking

Very surgically
precise dissections

Of these cattle.

Wow.

In 1996,

The reports of
the sherman family

Led billionaire robert
bigelow to acquire the property

And to commence an
unprecedented scientific study.

Bigelow came in with his team,

National institute of
discovery science or nids,

That transitioned

To bigelow aerospace
advanced space studies,

Which was funded by
the u.S. Government

And kept highly confidential.

In 2016, I purchased
skinwalker ranch

And assembled our team to
carry this investigation forward

Into the next level.

The team members I met that day

Are great guys

And are very diversified
in their skill sets.

Bryant arnold, also
known as dragon,

Runs security

And was initially
quite a skeptic

Of all the phenomena.

Jim morse, the ranch manager,
does a lot of community outreach

To those who've also
had strange experiences.

Erik bard serves as
the principal investigator

At skinwalker ranch, and he has

A wide variety of
scientific knowledge.

- We want your perspective.
- We've noticed

That when we bring

New people onto the ranch,

The ranch behaves
differently than it normally does.

It's just a place,
right? I mean...

And then there's the
ranch superintendent,

Thomas winterton.

Back in 2016,

He found out firsthand

That a legend warning
never to disturb the ground

On skinwalker ranch
might have some merit.

I had been warned
not to dig on this ranch,

Which I thought was
absolutely ridiculous.

So I paid zero attention to it,

And I ended up

Getting very, very
sick, hospitalized.

I had fluid that separated
the fatty tissue from my skull,

And to this day,

My doctors still haven't
come up with an explanation.

- Hey, guys. - Hey.
- How you doing, travis?

I was intrigued enough to
accept brandon's invitation.

But I got to tell you, I
figured there had to be

A logical, scientific
explanation

For all the reported phenomena.

Within my first hour there,

The guys took me to see
the three-square-acre mesa

Known as skinwalker ridge.

So, is this where the
glow was from the video?

That's right. There's about
a 500 to 600-footlong section

Of this mesa.

It was a spot

Where erik had
previously captured video

Of a possible uap

And a large section
mysteriously illuminated

In the middle of the night.

You ought to check
your trifield meter,

See what it's doing.

I'm getting a
little tone from it.

- A little tone?
- Whoa.

Let me see that thing.

Whoa, whoa, it's gone up.

Incredibly, we suddenly detected

Potentially dangerous
spikes of rf radiation

At the ground level...

Let's go up the mountain
and see what happens.

And then even
more up on top of it.

Oh!

And it's shifted now. Now
it's coming from that direction.

So, I get my biggest readings
when I'm like this, looking up.

We continued detecting
more rf radiation spikes

Across the ranch.

It's coming from up there.

And incredibly,

They all pointed to one spot:

A zone about a
mile above the ranch

At a location that
has come to be known

As the triangle.

So, we are ready to launch.

To find out what could
be going on up there,

We fired rockets containing
radiation and gps sensors

Up at the triangle
from the helipad

Right by the command
center. Ignition.

- Holy smokes!
- Oh, yeah!

Look at the cows.

That's crazy.

Never seen that before.

- Look! Look, look, look!
- What is that?

- What is that? We got...
We got something. Hold on.

It was stunning.

A uap not only
appeared in the sky

But the cattle on the ranch

Seemed to sense
it before we did.

- It's gone.
- And then just a few weeks later,

Something truly
disturbing happened.

What in the world?

There's no cat tracks.

There's no sign of struggle.

- In the middle of the day.
- It's just dead.

I saw her this morning,
but she was alive.

Right near that same area,

One of the young, healthy cows

Suddenly died.

-Look at this. Feel-feel my phone.
-Look at this.

It's going vibrate to mute,
vibrate to mute like crazy.

Holy crap.

When we went to investigate,

Both thomas's and kaleb
bench's phones went haywire.

My phone starts freaking out

Whenever your trifield goes off.

I don't have any control
over my phone right now.

-Gee, look at that. Look at this. Hey, is it...
-Is it still doing it?

Is it five? It's 18.

It just jumped to 18 just then.

And another dangerous
spike of radiation

Registered on our meters.

Oh, wow.

We need to get
out of here, guys.

Let's get out of here.

We had no explanation for
what happened to the cow

Or what caused the radiation.

But then we met with
linda moulton howe

To review surveillance footage
that captured the cow's death.

We were shocked by what we saw.

Is that black object the cow?

Yeah, that's it, tom.

The cow is right here.

What we'll do is

Go forward very slowly and
watch what happens with her.

- Now, you see the cow starts to get up.
- Yeah.

So, here,

I can't help but also notice

That there's something
happening here.

Oh, whoa. Look at that.
Yeah, there it was. Up there.

Look at that.

The moment that
that object appeared

Above the cow,

The cow was reacting.

Yes.

What was this craft

Doing out there,

And why at the very
time this cow was dying

Was this craft seen in the sky?

We very well could
have prevented

A full-blown cattle
mutilation from occurring.

- Yeah, it's a possibility.
- It's a possibility.

I feel strongly

Where there are mutilations,

Where there are ufos,

You're going to find

That there are magnetic
anomalies. They go together.

Wow.

I think we're
dealing with portals.

I think we are dealing
with advanced technology

That has been hidden.

I didn't know what to
think of linda's theory

That the cow's death, the
radiation spikes or the ufo

Could be related to portals.

But we experienced much
more along those lines

At a location known
as homestead two.

And there, we didn't have
to worry about the cows.

We had to worry about us.

Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?

Over the past three
years, one of the places

On skinwalker ranch
where we've seen and felt

The most bizarre
phenomena happen

Is at homestead two.

It was built in 1905 by
john and emma myers,

Who lived there
and raised cattle,

But it's been abandoned
since the 1930s,

And I've come to understand why.

I was looking around
the homestead

With a fellow
scientist, dr. Jim segala,

And became very curious
about an old covered cistern.

What the crap is that?

It's filled with something.

Seriously polluted.

I don't know, I got a
little bit of a headache

Or something happening.

I don't know where it came from,

But as soon as
I lifted that lid,

I was overcome with
dizziness and a headache.

Maybe we should check
our dosimeters or whatever.

Yeah.

Holy cr... Mine's beeping.

- Your max dose rate is about 120?
- Yeah.

- It's 120-something.
- That's pretty high.

Turns out

I got hit with radiation
that was equivalent

To about 20,000
airport security x-rays

All at once that left burns
on my hand and my face.

So, how does it feel right now

To be back here?

It's a little... I'm
a little nervous,

- Not, not... You know,
to be honest. Yeah.

Another disturbing
incident happened in 2020

When a local resident
named roland mccook

Told jim morse and
ranch caretakers

Tom lewis and kandus linde

About an experience he had

Many years ago at homestead
two while hunting on the property.

We were looking for tracks.

We noticed there
were human footprints.

And I followed

The tracks, and then
all of a sudden it turned

From human footprints
to a big dog tracks.

Like a wolf.

And it came out. Red eyes.

Probably, like, eight feet tall.

Whatever it is
doesn't belong here.

Roland's story
sounded incredible,

But he was so sincere about it.

Did he really
encounter a skinwalker?

We don't know, but what
happened moments later

Was definitely real.

Hold on.

- Yeah. You okay? Hey.
- Mm.

Just like what happened
to me and others,

Roland was clearly affected
by a strange energy spike

Or something we
still don't understand

At homestead two.

Around that same time,

Retired army colonel
john alexander,

One of the principle
investigators

Who worked for robert bigelow,

Not only shared a
crazy story of his own

But also offered a theory

Of what is causing the
phenomena at homestead two.

One of the things that really

Stand out in my mind

Is that, uh,

The observers
are on the ridgeline,

Uh, to the north

And looking down
upon homestead two,

And they see a-a spot of light

That expands.

And something came
out, about six-foot tall.

I would say

The area is a portal.

This piece of gear
I have with me is

A slam-based scanner
called a hovermap.

To test colonel alexander's
theory, we invited

Technologist pete kelsey out

To help us conduct
an infrared lidar scan

Of homestead two.

Okay, I'm gonna
go inside of this.

I'm gonna poke
my head back here.

I don't mind telling
you this place is creepy.

Well, let's kind
of walk through it

And see if we see anything.

- Oh, wow.
- Whoa, what is that?

I mean, that's not
a data point, right?

There should be a lot
more data points right there

With the two rooms. I
mean, you walked in there.

Something odd happened here.

What happened to
all this data right here?

Where is it?

Can't explain it.

It's like there's data missing.

The slam scan
lidar data is showing

The foliage and the
outlines of the buildings,

But where we should be seeing

The inside of the main house,

It's just a black hole.

-How you doing, ariel? Good to see you.
-How you doing, brother?

When the scientific approach

Left us with only more
questions about homestead two

And the theory of a
portal existing there,

We invited rabbi ariel tzadok

To try a more
unorthodox experiment.

While rabbi tzadok
performed an ancient prayer

That was supposed
to open portals

To other realms, we monitored

With our spectrum analyzer

And a thermal
night vision camera.

Erik, come here a minute.

You seeing something?

I have not seen
this do this before.

It shouldn't have
changed that drastically

All of a sudden.

The flir imagery
completely changed.

It's like the canopy of
the trees was superhot.

And then everything
underneath it where the house is...

Look at it. It's just
completely cold.

A circular vortex

With a 20-degree
temperature drop

Appeared in front of
the abandoned house

Right where pete kelsey's
data showed that black hole.

And then when
erik further analyzed

The thermal data, we saw
something even more startling.

I don't know what to make of it,

But I want you
to see this thing.

It only happens
once. It's very fast.

- I want to see if you notice it.
- Okay.

- Whoa.
- Oh! Whoa.

- What was that?
- Right there. That.

Why is it cold?

Yeah, if it were an animal,

- It would be hot.
- It would be hot.

I don't know what
to make of that.

It's one thing to
hear stories of portals

And strange entities
at homestead two,

But what we saw just
didn't make scientific sense.

Could it really be possible
to open a portal there?

So, maybe take
about a foot off first,

And we look at it.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah.

Well, just this year,

As I like to put it,
we poked the nest

A little bit harder to find out.

First, thomas winterton moved

Some earth with a bulldozer
near the homestead.

Hey, bryant.

I want you to see this.

We've got a couple flavors of
strangeness going here, bryant.

- Look. What the
actual hell is this? What?

And suddenly, erik
detected a dangerous spike

In gamma rays.

- We got to get those people out of there.
- Okay.

That-that's not good.

- What's wrong?
- What's up?

Erik pulled the data.
There was a spike at 3,400.

- 3,400?
- 3,400.

Everybody out of here now!

Everybody out.

All right, here we go.

Later that night,

We launched a rocket

To see what else
we could stimulate

And again were stunned
by what happened.

Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?

I'm not broadcasting.

What are you seeing?

A signal.

1.60000.

For the past three years,
we've often detected

An rf radiation signal
of 1.6 gigahertz,

But this time, it
was accompanied

By a weird audio signal.

That's a communication
signal or something.

It wasn't a satellite
that we were picking up,

So the question was

What might have been
trying to communicate with us?

What's going on, erik?

Yeah, I've got
something to show you.

Several hours later,

Erik captured something
near homestead two

With a surveillance camera

That might have
offered an answer.

What the hell is that?

- It could be... Uh-huh.
- Stop right there.

You can even see
the trail behind it.

Now let it... Watch it go.

It leaves a trail
behind it as it goes.

All right, stop. You see it?

Sure.

In one night, one span there,

We see a strange
communication beam,

And then we see this thing.

Is there a connection?

You've captured a uap
on camera here, erik,

And we don't know what it is.

The mystery of
homestead two continues.

We're not sure what to make
of the uap, harmful radiation

And possible
portal activity there,

But it almost pales
in comparison

To what we've seen at
the biggest uap hot spot

The triangle.

Of the numerous locations
on skinwalker ranch

Where our team has seen uap

And detected the
highest radiation spikes,

The most compelling
and unsettling

Is that zone a mile high
above the so-called triangle.

The triangle is
right in front of us.

We should be approaching

A point for the first
turn to the west.

In 2020, erik and I wanted to
take extended measurements

Of gps, gamma ray

And rf radiation
data in that zone,

So we convinced brandon
fugal's brother cameron

To fly us in brandon's
helicopter up through it.

All right, I've got the
six o'clock position

At 2,500-foot radius.

So, I'm showing radar altimeter.

Showing we're only 40 feet
above the ground right now.

That's not good.

But as we approached our target,

Something really scary happened.

Whoa, weird.

So something could be under us.

40-something feet under us.

It showed something
under us, at 40 feet below us.

What the hell is
40 feet under us?

- I don't get it.
- Holy crap.

I'm going to show you a
few clips that I've put together.

Okay.

We didn't know what
the heck cameron's radar

Was sensing below
us, but then later

We reviewed the footage
recorded during the experiment.

Oh.

- You see that?
- Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, look at that. God.

Some kind of shadowy uap buzzed

The helicopter
from multiple angles.

It made us all wonder just
how much our safety was

In jeopardy while
we were up there.

That only made us more
intrigued about what the triangle had

To reveal to us, so in 2021,

We invited former
u.S. Military veterans

Jeremy mcgowan, gary
voorhis and jason turner

To the ranch.

Gary and jason had
been eyewitnesses

To the infamous
tic tac uap encounter

That was documented
by the u.S. Navy in 2004.

And today, all three
guys are members

Of an investigative
team known as uapx,

Which privately studies

The phenomena
all over the world.

You guys want to shoot
some rockets off with us,

See what we can find?

Oh, yes. For sure!

Well, their visit got
bizarre from the start.

Just as we were getting

A plan together...

I'm hurting. I just
got a headache, bro.

Uh, his head is
starting to hurt.

Jason was suddenly stricken
with a severe headache.

Let's get to the
spectrum analyzer.

Yeah, we got to get to
the spectrum analyzer.

Come with me.

Having experienced
something similar, obviously

The first item is to
get him to safety,

And see if we can
stop what is happening.

Jump in here real quick.

Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, it's here!

We've got that 1.6 thing.

Yeah, but we're clearly
getting that signal.

I don't know if it was the ranch

Responding to those
guys, but we detected

The 1.6 gigahertz rf
spike at the same time.

All right, jason, everything
is running right now.

All right, everything's
running. We're good.

Roger that.

Thankfully, jason recovered.

So we headed out to the triangle
where the plan was to launch

Rockets equipped with
scanning devices up

Through the mile-high zone

While the uapx guys
monitored the skies with

Their specialized
uap detection vehicle

Known as osirus.

All right, here we go.
Rocket is going hot!

Smoke to pop.

Five, four...

Three, two, one...

You got to be kidding me.

Oh.

The rockets
functioned just fine,

But during each launch,
osirus inexplicably shut down.

It was like something
was purposely

Preventing them
from collecting data.

But what could do that?

- Hey, look, uap right there!
- Yep.

- I see it!
- Yep, there it is. You got one.

Yep, there it is right
there, right there!

The uapx guys
all said they hadn't

Seen anything like
it since the tic tac.

You got to be me.

The triangle would
remain our target

In the following weeks,
and while it would

Continue to reveal
possible answers,

It also presented a
lot more questions.

Dragon and I are
gonna take a rocket

Out there and set
it up in-in this spot,

And launch it right
underneath where we are.

You guys try and capture
it through the telescope.

- That make sense?
- Yeah. - Yes, sir.

- Okay.
- All right. Let's go!

After the uapx experiment,

We invited a team of astronomers

Out to focus high-powered

Telescopes up through the
mile-high zone at the triangle.

The plan was to launch
rockets to stimulate something

Above the triangle,

While the telescopes zeroed in

On the anomaly's exact location.

Hey, bryant, travis.

- You guys ready for launch?
- Yeah, we are, erik.

- Please stand by.
- Give me a moment.

I'm having trouble getting my,
uh, computerized mount aligned.

What is the function
that you're trying

To do that it's not doing?

Uh, when we, when I
first set up the mount,

- I have to aim it at a couple of stars.
- Uh-huh.

And that builds the model
of the sky in the computer.

It's not letting me do that.

But just like with the
uapx team, the telescopes

Wouldn't function and only when
they were aimed at the triangle.

We need to launch
this rocket now.

Three, two,

One, ignition.

I thought that could mean

Something was happening
so we launched the rocket.

All right.

Uh, the cattle are acting

Very abnormal.

I'm getting
something on the 1.6.

Sure enough, the cows
started acting up, erik detected

The 1.6 gigahertz rf signal
on the spectrum analyzer...

- Look at this one right here.
- What the hell is that in the sky?

- To the south.
- There it is!

That thing is big and spherical!

Yes, it is! It's got a black
dot in the center of it.

What in the crap?

And then we saw the biggest
and most clear uap to that point.

The triangle showed
once again that it might

Hold a key to the secret
of skinwalker ranch.

- Wow.
- -And, of course,

We soon revealed even
more compelling clues

And possible answers.

As you're aware, we've
seen some really weird stuff.

- Yeah, you sure have.
- And so...

We thought we needed a
much larger rocket that can

Go up through the triangle

And with a lot of
instruments on it.

And at the same time have

Multiple very large
lasers focused

On the spot, uh, as well
as a scanning laser system

Focused on the spot while
we have all of our instruments

And cameras and
everything looking at it.

I mean, everything
we've got and used

In the past, we would
use in one big experiment.

It sounds like you are proposing
something on a grand scale.

Yeah.

- Stand the booster up here.
- Yep.

In 2021, we threw everything

But the kitchen
sink at the triangle

In an effort to find
out what the secret

Of the mile-high zone was.

We projected three
high-powered laser beams

And broadcast the 1.6
gigahertz communication signal

Up through the anomalous zone.

And then launched
a nine-foot tall rocket

Equipped with gps and
all kinds of energy sensors.

The anticipation
and hopes are so high

For this experiment,

We'll be able to either
stimulate or see something

That could really
lead us in a direction

To figuring out what's
actually going on.

All right, here we go,
okay. Do it. Here we go.

- Yes.
- Five, four...

Three, two, one.

There it goes!

That's fantastic.

What was that bend all about?

It caught dramatically
to the north,

So it couldn't go up
through the beam.

What in the crap?

The launch was perfect and
the rocket was heading right

For the target zone above
the triangle, but suddenly,

Something up
there we couldn't see

Deflected it way off course.

I swear it looked like something

Hit it and it shot north.

Because it was going
straight up and then just, boom!

Hmm.

Hey, travis, you copy?

Yeah, erik, go ahead.

If brandon is nearby,

Can you bring him in real quick?

We couldn't believe what we
had just seen with the rocket,

But then erik showed me
and brandon something

He captured on his
surveillance camera

That was even more perplexing.

Travis, you, you
got to see this.

- Okay.
- Well, there's the lasers.

- Yeah, I'm doing an instant playback. Do you see this?
- Oh! Yeah!

Wow!

It's moving way too
fast for it to be a satellite.

This thing is really
clipping along.

Oh, my gosh.

It disappeared.
Can you replay that?

- Please.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on.

What did it disappear into?

It's not cloudy.

That's insane.

Erik clearly captured
a uap ascending

From the direction of the mesa

That approached
the mile-high zone

Above the triangle and
then simply vanished.

That's down below the mesa.

I don't know if I'm
seeing what I think

I'm seeing, or not.

Is it a portal?

Are we seeing portals open?

I didn't know if brandon could
have been onto something

Given all the bizarre energy
and visual anomalies we had

Documented above the triangle.

And I wasn't sure what

The connection to
the mesa might be.

But earlier in 2021,

Me, dragon and cameron
fugal conducted another

Experiment in brandon's
helicopter above the triangle...

We're 1,600 feet
above the ground.

That showed another
possible correlation

Between the two sites.

Winds are just up to five
knots out of the southeast.

And you can see the triangle
off to the side there, travis.

- Yep, yeah. I'm watching.
- I've got eyes on it.

Keep going, keep going east.

Yeah, I've got the-the triangle

Immediately beneath
us on the left side.

Yep.

All right, so I'm gonna
drop this gps right now.

Three, two, one, package away.

Package away!

Hoping to pinpoint the anomaly

In the mile-high zone,
dragon and I dropped several

Gps devices down
through the triangle.

Dropping multiple payloads,
let us know what you get.

Yeah, we're right
over, I'm right over it.

We were dropping
multiple bottles,

One after another after another.

-Chuck 'em.
-Oh, I'm chucking. I ain't stopping.

We threw out the
last 20 gps trackers

Just hoping they'd be
able to get good data.

Packages dropped. Packages away.

What I want to show
you are the two separate

Gps data payloads.

All right, now let me explain
what you're looking at here,

You can probably guess.

These, uh, blue
cubes that I'm using

Represent the position
of the gps payloads.

This is where things
start getting strange.

These blue cubes
appear to be 50 feet,

70 feet below the
surface of the mesa.

It looks like you
smashed into the mesa.

What the heck?

How?

It was incredible.

The gps devices that
we dropped from more

Than a mile up in the air,

Showed data at a specific
spot inside the mesa.

None of us knew what
that might mean at the time,

But a few weeks later, a
former investigator returned

To the ranch and gave
us a possible answer.

What's it like coming back?

It's pretty surreal
actually, you know.

It's kind of like being back
home a little bit, you know?

'cause I have a lot of
experiences out here.

You know, I lived and breathed
this property for six years.

In 2021, chris bartel,
an airforce veteran

Who once ran security for robert
bigelow on skinwalker ranch,

Paid us a visit that would
lead our investigation

Of the mysterious mesa
in a shocking new direction.

So, October of 2010,
I found some big prints

On top of the
mesa, canine prints.

Here, take a look at
this. You can see here.

Look at those, look
how deep those go down.

- Look at that.
- Oh, my gosh.

So that's about three
feet between step?

Mm-hmm. That's
a very big canine.

Seeing this picture,
you can tell by both

The size and the
stride that we're

Talking about a
very large animal.

It makes me think about
the legend of the skinwalker.

I'll never forget this.

Because it has been replaying
in my mind forever, since this day.

Out of that ditch I hear

A god-awful guttural howl growl.

The animal jumps
out of the ravine

Over the berm and travels west.

This thing was probably
the size of a donkey, black.

We get around that corner there,

It's-it's gone.

- Wow.
- The next day we came back.

There was an area I
found on this mesa slope

And it led to this open
cavity, uh, it looked like a cave.

Now we had heard all kinds
of rumors about caverns

Leading to underground bases

And even spacecraft
being hidden in the mesa.

So, when chris said he
tracked this terrifying creature

To a massive cave,

Thomas and kaleb were
eager to check it out.

Oh, yeah.

I'm pretty sure this
is it. Or it looks like it.

You can tell that at one
time it was a lot larger,

And it's collapsed
down in on itself.

You can tell that
this whole area,

- It looks like a sunken-in area.
- Like it was all caved in.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

The massive cave
entrance that chris said

Was there more than ten years
earlier during the bigelow era

Was now covered
by huge boulders.

It seemed fishy to
us, so after confirming

With a demolition expert
that the cave-in seemed

To have been created on purpose,

We wondered what
could be in there

That someone might
have tried to keep hidden.

So we decided to
drill and find out.

Come on, sweetheart.

We can hear the drill
bit, down below, punching.

Copy you. They must
be into something

Really solid that's
carrying the vibration well.

10-4.

Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.

We hit an obstruction
that the drill

Could not penetrate.

Now, what am I
getting? What is all that?

I don't know,
it's a lot of noise.

Oh, wow.

And at the same time,

Erik began detecting the
mysterious 1.6 gigahertz

Rf communication signal.

Hey, bryant, tom, you copy?

Yeah, I got you. Go ahead, erik.

We've got

An rf spectrum analyzer,
which is a receiver,

That seems to be broadcasting

Instead of just receiving.

That's not good.

Well, just have
a listen at this.

Are you okay?

No.

Whatever the drill hit
seemed to stimulate

The rf signal and then caused
tom lewis to become so sick,

We had to rush
him to the hospital.

Thankfully, he recovered.

But the mystery of
what could be inside

The mesa was about to
become even stranger.

Check this out.

Wow, look at all the metal.

I cannot believe there's
that much metal in this.

I mean, look how
much of it there is.

The obstruction turned
out to be a 400-foot wide

Metallic object... And
shaped like a dome.

The possibilities of what that
meant seemed unbelievable.

So erik and I had
the metals tested

At the university of utah.

Now that's interesting.

We understand that
there was trace elements

Of, uh, europium and
tellurium in the sample?

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Well, that's interesting.

That's actually
very interesting.

Knowing that there is
a huge, dome-shaped,

Metal object made from
the same materials used

On spacecraft buried
deep in the mesa

Means our investigation
of that spot is far from over.

But believe it or not, that
might not be the strangest

Thing we've discovered in
that area on skinwalker ranch.

I think he said he
was gonna meet us

Just at the trail head up here.

- Hello. I'm up here.
- John!

Hello.

I'll admit that the
evidence of uaps,

Strange creatures and
even interdimensional portals

On skinwalker ranch,
is still hard to believe.

In 2021, navajo
historian john dover

Met with ranch caretakers
tom lewis and kandus linde

At a nearby location
known as mcconkie ranch

To explain that the indigenous
people of the region have been

Documenting these types
of phenomena for centuries.

This is one place of a
whole bunch of places

That have petroglyphs
that were put on these rocks

- A thousand years ago or
even earlier than that. Mm-hmm.

Here is the most interesting
one that I've found so far,

Is this spiral right here.

Some archeologists tell me that

This spiral could refer
to some kind of a portal.

- A portal?
- Yeah, a portal.

The ancient pictographs
john showed tom and kandus

At mcconkie ranch
were incredible,

Especially the one he
believed to depict a portal.

Because there is a
megalithic formation

Of boulders on the mesa
next to skinwalker ranch

That looks eerily identical.

So this spot is
some sort of mound.

Absolutely amazing.

We have basically
a spiral that's been

Put into this ground here.

And as we've seen
today at mcconkie

And maybe here, that
spiral is indicative of...

A portal, a dimensional
rift, an opening.

It was definitely
intriguing that john dover

Believed a portal might
be what that formation

On the mesa was
meant to represent...

Spinning up.

But later in the year, when
we had technologist pete kelsey

Perform an aerial
photogrammetry scan of the ranch,

The feature he
detected right above

That spiral of boulders
was beyond incredible.

Look at this structure.

This phantom structure
that's sticking up in the sky.

What would cause it to
do that if that's up in the air?

That's the question.

I want to show you something

At another location
that we've visited

That is part of this survey.

- Okay.
- Okay?

This is right above the
petroglyph area, right?

- Yes, it is.
- Just on the edge of our property.

- Right.
- And you'll recognize the stone circle here.

Yep.

And the feature that
I want to show you is

Actually very close
to this stone circle.

- Oh, there you go!
- There you go.

Right there.

So let me spin us around.

- I notice a couple of things here.
- Oh, now, look at this.

And you may observe
the same thing I have.

Yeah, so line those two up
and where are they pointing?

This feature, this artifact,

The largest stone that
was part of the stone circle

And that prominent
thing that's jetting up,

You know, further to the south.

You have three points in a line.

Wow.

Well, we owe it to ourselves

To follow up on every data
anomaly that we come across,

Particularly when
they're as prominent as

The ones we're looking at here.

We still have a lot of questions

About what is truly
behind all the phenomena

We and many others have
experienced on skinwalker ranch.

So this team is only more
determined to keep investigating

The key sites on the property

Including homestead two...

The triangle...

And the mesa to finally
get some answers.

Frankly, everything
about this ranch baffles me.

We may have begun
to penetrate the surface

Of the mystery at the ranch,
but we've also discovered

That the mystery is
potentially infinitely deep.

As mysterious events continue,
so also will this investigation.

Our team has demonstrated

An unequaled dedication

To finding the truth
at skinwalker ranch.

We may be embarking
on some of the most

Important work of our time.
